My last holiday

My last holiday was a five-day trip to Prague in the Czech Republic. I know Prague well because I lived there when I was at university, more than ten years ago.

Instead of staying in a hotel, I stayed with one of my old friends. It was so much fun, and a little bit like my old life. I wanted to do all the same things I did in my university days, so I visited the university. It has changed a lot and looks more modern. I also went to the supermarket near my old house. I loved seeing all the different foods. I was really happy to find my favourite cheese and chocolate biscuits but they were a bit more expensive than I remember!

We did some touristy things too. We walked up beautiful Petrin Hill and around the castle. The views of the city are amazing up there. We walked across the historic Charles Bridge. My friend's flat is very near the TV Tower so we saw the famous baby statues climbing up it. Those things haven't changed, of course.

Tips

1. Try to make your writing interesting for the reader. To do this, you can make it personal with your own memories and experiences.

2. Use adjectives to add detail to your descriptions.

3. Write clear and simple sentences and organise your ideas in short paragraphs. Give each paragraph a different topic.

4. Use so, but, and, because and other linking words.

My last holiday was a trip to Bavaria, in Germany, for seven days. I stayed in Munich, at the confortable hotel, near the centre of the city. I visited some of famous Bavarian castles and the beautiful Nuremberg.

My last holiday was amazing, it was in Jambelí Island (Ecuador), I was for the first time here. It was very fun because I shared good moments with my family, including my nephews, nieces, siblings and parents. We went from the bay to the island by boat, this lasted 15 minutes. When we arrived, we went to a restaurant and we ate seafood, it was delicious. My family and me enjoy beach all afternoon.

My last weekend with my family spent a week in Khiva. I enjoyed the city of Khiva. Especially when you get to the city, you will see the story. I was struck by national patterns and images in the mausoleum. Moreover, I fell in love with tourists from Germany, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Malaysia and South Korea. A boom always enhances good mood and productivity. I invite everyone to Khiva.

My last holiday. 1. My last holiday was a one-week trip to Kazakhstan in the city of Almaty. I went to friends on the 23rd anniversary of high school. We all gathered in Kazakhstan because most of our classmates were there. We decided to correct this event in the Koktobe mountains of Kazakhstan. There we rented a cottage for two days and gathered with all our friends there. We prepared barbecue, bought all sorts of drinks. We invited our former class teacher to our event. The next day, we visited Shynbulak, went swimming in Kapchagai. After a week in Kazakhstan, I returned full of memories to my hometown. I really enjoyed this trip.
